Don’t Go AwayAce of Base

[Verse 1]
One step hesitation
One step into the night
Don't mind the weather
It's raining in my heart tonight
Much more to living
Two wrongs don't make a right
You're gonna regret it
When you're looking back
On your life

[Chorus]
Don't go away
Make the most of this love I'm giving
Don't go away
Better take another look at my face
You can be what you wanna be, hmm
But don't go away

[Verse 2]
Some dream of fortune
Others dream of fame
Seconds after leaving
Life'll never be the same
Fell for temptation
It didn't mean a thing
We'll last forever
If you turn around
Once again

[Chorus]
Don't go away
Make the most of this love I'm giving
Don't go away
Better take another look at my face
You can be what you wanna be, hmm
But don't go away

[Bridge]
Do you wanna be more than a picture hanging on the wall
Something to remind me of how it all went wrong
Do you wanna be more than a number forgotten in a book
You're holding something special, so take another look
You're gonna regret it
When you're looking back
On your life

[Chorus]
Don't go away
Make the most of this love I'm giving
Don't go away
Better take another look at my face
You can be what you wanna be, hmm
But don't go away

[Outro]
Take a look
Take another look on your way
Take a look
Take another look on your way
Please don't go...

Ace of Base

Ace of Base Is a Swedish pop group who scored a string of international hits in the early-to-mid 1990s. They’re best known for their upbeat reggae-tinged dance-pop songs, including “The Sign”, which was the biggest hit of 1994, according to The Billboard US chart.

The group’s core lineup consisted of producers Ulf “Buddha” Ekberg and Jonas “Joker” Berggren, along with singers Malin “Linn” Berggren and Jenny Berggren (the three Berggrens are siblings). In the early ’90s, their debut single “Wheel of Fortune” became a hit in Scandinavia, which led to the group connecting with producer Denniz Pop (who would later spawn the careers Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, and Max Martin).

After the group’s 1992 debut Happy Nation became an international hit (going on to sell 21 million copies), it was re-released in North America in 1993 as The Sign. Three singles from the album became top five pop hits in the US, including “All That She Wants” (#2), “Don’t Turn Around” (#4), and “The Sign” (#1 for six weeks). The Sign went on to sell over 10 million copies.
